We all know that blue light emitted from electronic devices can keep us awake at night by inhibiting the release of melatonin.
But according to Business Insider, a new study reveals that the same light might be damaging our eye’s retinas and could possibly cause blindness later in life.
The study published in scientific reports reveals that the blue light that’s given off by most modern devices-
Causes molecules in the eye to become poisonous, killing photoreceptors.
Researchers at the University of Toledo are calling it quote: “retinal-generated toxicity”-
And it could lead to macular degeneration/which is irreversible and may even cause blindness.
According to one of the study’s authors:
"We are being exposed to blue light continuously, and the eye's cornea and lens cannot block or reflect it."
Saying that as we age and our immune system weakens, we might not be able to fight the effects any longer.
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness worldwide-
So developing a way to block the troublesome blue light is critical.
Because even with our eyesight on the line… getting rid of our devices would be tough.
